The PTH12040W is a high-performance 50-A rated, non-isolated, power module, which uses the latest
multiphase switched-mode topology. This provides a small, ready-to-use module, that can power the most densly
populated multiprocessor systems.
Operating from an input voltage range of 8 V to 14 V, the PTH12040W requires a single resistor to set the output
voltage to any value over the range, 0.8 V to 5.5 V. The wide input voltage range makes the PTH12040W
particularly suitable for advanced computing and server applications that utilize a loosely regulated 12-V
intermediate distribution bus.
The modules incorporate a comprehensive list of features. They include on/off inhibit and margin up/down
controls. A differential remote output voltage sense ensures tight load regulation, and an output overcurrent and
overtemperature shutdown protect against most load faults. The programmable under-voltage lockout allows the
turn-on and turn-off voltage thresholds to be customized.
The PTH12040W incorporates Auto-Track™. The Auto-Track feature of the PTH family allows the outputs of
multiple modules to track a common voltage during power up and power down transitions. This simplifies power
up and power down supply-voltage sequencing in a power supply system.
The modules use double-sided surface mount construction to provide a low profile and compact footprint.
Package options include both through-hole and surface mount configurations.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Capacitor Recommendations for the PTH12040W Power Module
The PTH12040W is a state-of-the-art multi-phase power converter topology that uses three parallel switching and
filter inductor paths between the common input and output filter capacitors. The three paths share the load
current, operate at the same frequency, and are evenly displaced in phase.
With multiple switching paths the transient output current capability is significantly increased. This reduces the
amount of external output capacitance required to support a load transient. As a further benefit, the ripple
current, as seen by the input and output capacitors, is reduced in magnitude and effectively tripled in frequency.
Input Capacitor
The improved transient response of a multi-phase converter places a bigger burden on the transient capability of
the input source. The size and value of the input capacitor is therefore determined by this converter’s transient
performance capability. The minimum amount of input capacitance required is 560 µF, with an RMS ripple
current rating of 300 mA. This minimum value assumes that the converter is supplied with a responsive, low
inductance input source. This source should have ample capacitive decoupling, and be distributed to the
converter via PCB power and ground planes. For high-performance applications, or wherever the transient
performance of the input source is limited, 1000 µF of input capacitance is recommended.
Ripple current, less than 100 mΩ of equivalent series resistance (ESR), and temperature are the main
considerations when selecting input capacitors. The ripple current reflected from the input of the PTH12040W
module is moderate to low. Therefore any good quality, computer-grade electrolytic capacitor, of either value
suggested, has an adequate ripple current rating.
Regular tantalum capacitors are not recommended for the input bus. These capacitors require a recommended
minimum voltage rating of 2 × (maximum dc voltage + ac ripple). This is standard practice to ensure reliability. No
tantalum capacitors were found with a sufficient voltage rating to meet this requirement. When the operating
temperature is below 0°C, the ESR of aluminum electrolytic capacitors increases. For these applications,
Os-Con, polyaluminum, and polymer-tantalum types should be considered. Adding one or two ceramic capacitors
to the input reduces high-frequency reflected ripple current.
Output Capacitors
The PTH12040W requires a minimum output capacitance of 660 µF (or 2 × 330 µF), with an ESR of 15 mΩ to
40 mΩ. This is necessary for the stable operation of the regulator. Additional capacitance can be added to
improve the module's performance to load transients. High quality computer-grade electrolytic capacitors are
recommended. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors provide adequate decoupling over the frequency range, 2 kHz to
150 kHz, and are suitable when ambient temperatures are above 0°C. For operation below 0°C, tantalum,
ceramic, or Os-Con type capacitors are necessary.
When using a combination of one or more nonceramic capacitors, the calculated equivalent ESR should be no
lower than 2 mΩ (4 mΩ when calculating using the manufacturer’s maximum ESR values). A list of preferred
low-ESR type capacitors are identified in Table 1.
Ceramic Capacitors
Above 150 kHz the performance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is less effective. Multilayer ceramic
capacitors have very low ESR and a resonant frequency higher than the bandwidth of the regulator. They can be
used to reduce the reflected ripple current at the input as well as improve the transient response of the output.
When used on the output their combined ESR is not critical as long as the total value of ceramic capacitors, with
values between 10 µF and 100 µF, does not exceed 400 µF. Also, to prevent the formation of local resonances,
do not place more than five identical ceramic capacitors in parallel with values of 10 µF or greater.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
Tantalum Capacitors
Tantalum type capacitors are only used on the output bus, and are recommended for applications where the
ambient operating temperature is less than 0°C. The AVX TPS, Sprague 593D/594/595 and Kemet T495/T510
capacitor series are suggested over many other tantalum types due to their higher rated surge, power
dissipation, and ripple current capability. As a caution, many general purpose tantalum capacitors have higher
ESR, reduced power dissipation, and lower ripple current capability. These capacitors are also less reliable due
to their reduced power dissipation and surge current ratings. Tantalum capacitors that have no stated ESR or
surge current rating are not recommended for power applications.
When specifying Os-con and polymer-tantalum capacitors for the output, the minimum ESR limit is encountered
well before the maximum capacitance value is reached.
Capacitor Table
Table 1 identifies the characteristics of capacitors from a number of vendors with acceptable ESR and ripple
current (rms) ratings. The recommended number of capacitors required at both the input and output buses is
identified for each capacitor type.
Note: This is not an extensive capacitor list. Capacitors from other vendors are available with comparable
specifications. Those listed are for guidance. The RMS ripple current rating and ESR (at 100 kHz) are critical
parameters necessary to insure both optimum regulator performance and long capacitor life.
Designing for Very Fast Load Transients
The transient response of the dc/dc converter has been characterized using a load transient with a di/dt of
1 A/µs. The typical voltage deviation for this load transient is given in the data sheet specification table using the
mnimum required value of output capacitance. As the di/dt of a transient is increased, the response of a
converter’s regulation circuit ultimately depends on its output capacitor decoupling network. This is an inherent
limitation with any dc/dc converter once the speed of the transient exceeds its bandwidth capability. If the target
application specifies a higher di/dt or lower voltage deviation, the requirement can only be met with additional
output capacitor decoupling. In these cases special attention must be paid to the type, value and ESR of the
capacitors selected.
